Hmmm… Question for you, G… Were you in a fraternity in college? Watching this episode, I just had an epiphany. I had always thought that fraternities were a big, idiotic waste of time, and an excuse for stupid jocks to get wasted as often as possible. But I just realized something! The hazing rituals do serve one very important, educational purpose… They prepare people for some of the freakish, absolutely disgusting, ‘delicacies’ that society has to offer out in the ‘big boy’ world! Some examples: Caviar (fish eggs), Escargot (snails), Uni (sea urchin), and what??? A bullfrog’s beating heart with chopsticks??? Crimeny!!! That’s a new one on me!!! *shudder* What the heck is wrong with you people???

QOTD: Absolutely nothing!

Very good EP. Happy birthday to Vayniac Susan (two days late). Love your alternate use of the Vayniac wristband Gary – it also works for catching the runs down the bottle so the label stays intact for us label junkies! Loved your comments on the foil. The foil cutter is one of those devices that has sat eternally un-used in my kitchen drawer. Foil “rippers” UNITE! QOTD: Looking in my schedule for the opportunity to pick up my order from WL! What else would I be doing??

I just realized that I asked about a 1995 vintage and said my son will be 12 this year. Duh! Sorry about that.

Gary…I always appreciate you taking questions. This time, though, I couldn’t decide whether you were clowning me or not. I started my question because of the issue you addressed in Episode 162 about wine labels. You said, in that episode or another one, that you wanted to debunk the myth that a great label indicates good wine. I was just following along with that. Secondly, were you serious about Lebanese wine labels or were you just yanking my chain?

Thanks for the reinforcements for those of use who pull the foil off the bottle.

Thanks for reviewing the 1995 Chat Ferriere. I’ve been looking to purchase a bottle of 1995. My son was born in ‘95, and I want to buy a good bottle to reserve for his 21st birthday. Would the Chat Ferriere hold up? (He’s 12 this year.) Any other suggestions for a 1995 vintage? — maybe a Champagne/sparkling?

QOTD: Friday night I hung out with a buddy of mine that just moved to the city and got a phat job at a pharmaceutical company new Summitt Hills. I recommended he come by and see you. The rest of the weekend is going to be fulled with yard work and NCAA tourament viewing. My wife is out of town for a couple of weeks, so I want to surprise her with some nice spring curb appeal when she gets back.

SPRING BREAK!!!! I’m a teacher, okay! Off to wine country tomorrow! Personally, the fine circular cut of the foil gives me a sense of ritual, of peace and harmony…did I say SPRING BREAK?

QOD – going to wine library to buy some vino, and I too am drafting my fantasy baseball team tomorrow.

oh yeah about the foil….I have found that there is a practical use for leaving the foil on. when you grip it while screwing in the cork screw it makes it easier cuz the foil is loose and spins around the bottle while your grip stays in place. It’s easier than having to regrip the neck as you go. Just a thought.

QOTD – drink some wine, yard work, practice some music for Holy Week, church, golf, drink some wine (oh, I already mentioned that), do my GTD weekly review and all of the assorted honey-do’s and family stuff that comes up.

Nice episode. I am open to eating most things, but I draw the line at monkey brains and bullfrog hearts……….
